Red Wings Lost

Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or lost:

“their red cloaks
wrapped tight to the bone”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Unhappy, eagle wings and bleak, chicken brain.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

“All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.... Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost—and will never lose—a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.”
—Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939)
